Mundine says Fenech return is 'pitiful'
ANTHONY Mundine last night called three-time boxing world
champion Jeff Fenech a "nobody" and "pitiful" as their
simmering feud boiled over.
Mundine retaliated after Fenech last week derided the
impending third clash between Mundine and Sam Soliman as a
"farce" in the making, insisting his ring return against
fellow veteran Azumah Nelson had more credibility....

CHANGING OF THE GUARD
What a sad time in Aussie boxing with 3 warriors of the sport
calling it quits. Danny Green, Nader Hamden and now Paul
Briggs, pulling the pin on fantastic careers. Each one bought
something special to the ring and gave there all and showed us
what courage and professialism is all about.
The fighting spirit these blokes showed in both victory and
defeat makes me proud to be a Aussie.
The stage is now set for a couple of our young guns to show if
they have what it takes to step up and fill the void.

PhilBoxing.com
Sun, 30 Mar 2008
The WBO Oriental is indeed making its mark as a regional title
to reckon with.
In a long distance
phone conversation with Fil-Am WBO Asia Pacific Vice President
Leon Panoncillo, who has guided many Asian and Pacific
fighters to opportunities, the boxing executive informed that
Australia is on its way to producing more WBO Regional
champions.
Just recently hot prospect Lance Gostelow of Melbourne,
Australia scored a convincing unanimous decision over
Indonesian tough as nails Tia Koswara in a 12-round clash for
the vacant WBO Oriental Jr. welterweight title.

Shane Brock vs Omari Kimweri
Omari Kimweri was in too good a
condition to beat Shane Brock by ko in the 6th round of an 8
rounder.
The harder punching windmill style
fighter Kimweri could not
get on target until Brock seemed to get tired in the later
rounds.
Brock fought hard all the way and may
have won on points if he wasn't so set on putting his
opponent away throughout the fight.
See Video
Rising star Pat Rullo was extended
but showed up well by winning on points.
Pat Rullo did well winning against a
more experienced Robert Toomey, his better each and well
placed punches gave him the edge which got him the pat.
Robert took the fight to Rullo and
together made a very good fight of it.
A rematch would go well as the result
was in doubt and both boys thought they won.

Peter Maniatis runs a
successful Boxing TV show called KO Boxing on a regional
Victorian channel 31, he is a successful promoter and has
taken local boxers to higher fight standards.
As Murray Thompson's enterprises sell
videos to boxers, their families and fans alike we have been
requested quite some time ago to not place online any more
videos of fights. YV does not see any logic in this as the
videos are in very small screen size and only good for
promotional reasons and is of the opinion that anybody that
likes them would only be too glad to pay for the full screen
size professional
video.
Keith Ellis runs good
promotions in this state of Victoria has on numerous
times taken local boxers to higher fight standards. He is the
brother of former IBF world super featherweight and IBO
lightweight champion Lester Ellis.
